QlmLicense.ValidateLicenseOnServerEx3

• Checks if the time on the client system is synchronized with the License Server.
• Calls IsLicenseKeyRevokedEx to check if the license was revoked in which case the Activation Key and Computer Key are automatically deleted from the local system.

• If the server reports that the license has expired, the Computer Key stored on the local system is deleted.
• Publishes Analytics to the server if PublishAnalytics is set to true.
• Records the last time connection to the server was made in order to enforce the MaxDaysOffline setting.
• Verifies whether the system has exceeded the MaxDaysOffline setting.
• Returns whether the server has more up-to-date values for the SubscriptionExpiryDate, Features, and FloatingSeats.
